No Choice at All
Chapter Three—Stubborn Girl
---
Neither Ryou nor Keiichiro said anything. Kozakura looked back and forth, waiting for some explanation as to WHY they thought SHE could possibly have been hit.
"Come along. I'll walk you home Kozakura..." Ryou said in a surprisingly gently tone
"No. I am perfectly capable of walking home myself thank you..." Kozakura said, standing. Once again, she slung her bag over her shoulder.
"Kozakura!.." Ryou said. Then silence.. "I live next door to you. I'll just follow you.." he said
Kozakura whirled around on her heels. "No you will not!" she said angrily. In her eyes shone tears.
Keiichiro walked up to Ryou and whispered something in his ear.
"Yes I know I do not, but I can visit my uncle, can't I?" Ryou said in a low voice, not caring if he was over heard.
Kozakura was a smart girl, and instantly knew what Keiichiro had said. He had said something like 'Ryou. You do not live next door to her...'
Ryou turned and walked towards the door. Before walking out, he said good-bye to Keiichiro. Kozakura followed him outside.
"Here. Take my coat.." Ryou threw his jacket at Kozakura, the zipper hitting her face.
"Ow!" Kozakura screamed in pain. She then buried her face in the jacket.
"Don't get my jacket wet..." Ryou said
Kozakura looked up. "How would it get wet?" she asked coolly.
She felt something trickle down her face. She put her hand on her cheek, feeling some sort of fluid. Then took her hand away and inspected it. "Thanks for making me bleed..." she said, staring at her hand. There was silence, then Ryou spotted something on the back of Kozakura's hand as she put her palm to her cheek again.
It was a black mark. Two little half circled with a crescent moon (on its back) beneath it.
"What's that?" he asked, pointing to the mark.
Kozakura looked at where he was pointing.
When did that get there?!? She asked herself a little worriedly.
"Oh that? Birthmark..." Kozakura said nonchalantly
"Kozakura. Do you really expect me to believe that. I've known you just about all your life, and that was ever there."
"Honestly!! It is!" Kozakura lied
"I've never seen a black birthmark before. And so oddly shaped..."
There was a silence as they continued walking. Kozakura eventually put Ryou's jacket on, getting chilly.
"You know, it looks like a panda.." Ryou said suddenly
"Well that was...out of the blue. You still haven't dropped that?" Kozakura said
Ryou ignored her comments. "Maybe it's from the DNA..."
"Ryou, I'm telling you. No DNA hit me. I am normal. This is just a birthmark..." Kozakura said, turning a corner
Ryou did not reply. Kozakura thought she had won...
"What would happen if I had DNA in me?" she asked suddenly
"Well, when you got excited or scared, you'd sprout ears or a tail or something that the animal you have DNA of has..." Ryou said.
"Oh. I'll tell you if I see that happen to someone.." Kozakura said, nodding her head
"You are such a stubborn girl..." Ryou said. He shook his head and nothing more was said between the two until they reached Kozakura's home.
"Good-night Ryou."
"G'night!" Ryou said and walked off, in the direction of his uncle's house.
